Fans of old homes will find some of Lincoln’s oldest ones in Everett
Everett is one of the oldest neighborhoods in Lincoln. Notable for its particularly wide streets, roundabouts and seamless blend of homes, apartment buildings, businesses and restaurants together on one block, Everett feels like a classic urban residential neighborhood from the early 1900s. Highly walkable and bike-friendly, designated bike lanes along 11th Street and 13th Street lead to the Nebraska State Capitol, which is half a mile from the northeast corner of Everett.
Realtor Matt Kirkland, Owner of Giving Realty and a real estate agent in Lincoln for more than 20 years, says, “Everett sits right in the shadow of the Nebraska State Capitol – you can see it easily driving around the neighborhood – so it makes sense that we have a lot of lawyers, politicians and government employees who live here. At the same time, we also have a broad mix of urbanites, from young professionals and families with kids to single people of all ages who love living in historic houses.” Fans of old homes gravitate to Everett, where the median year homes were built was 1909.

According to Niche, Lincoln Public Schools is the No. 1 school district in Lancaster County, which gives it an A-minus. It ranks in the top ten Lincoln school districts for diversity, athletics and academics. Kirkland says, “Lincoln Public Schools are well-regarded and have been around for generations. Parents are proud of the public schools in the city, and many are alumni, so there’s a strong loyalty factor here.”
Everett Elementary is the oldest school in the city, dating back to 1867 when Lincoln was founded. In 1928, it became the city’s second junior high but changed back to an elementary school in 1991. It offers prekindergarten through fifth grade and receives a B-minus grade from Niche. Park Middle, located about 1 mile west of Everett's center, has a B-minus grade from Niche.
